I'm Robin Currie, January Author for Mighty Kid Lit
The best way I have found to be memorable AFTER the suitcases are unpacked is a One Sheet.
More detailed (and personalized) than a business card without the poundage of a
full proposal, One Sheets help an agent or editor recall a conversation about a
particular book, project idea, or author when decisions are being made back at
the office. Hand them out at socials, appointments, or at dinner.
Elements
of a One Sheet for a book:
Book info
Twitter-length pitch
Mini Marketing
Bitty Bio
Contact for author/agent
Think
of it as an elevator pitch on paper!
Book
Pitch One Sheet
The beauty of this one piece of paper (leave the back blank so the editor/agent can take notes) is that it can easily be tweaked if you know a particular editor/agent will be attending. Mention publisher interests or manuscript wish lists, Twitter requests, or your social media following.
Elements
of a One Sheet for an author:
Recent publishing
Relevant awards
Bitty Bio
Areas of expertise/interest
Contact for author/agent
Think
of it as a meet and greet on paper!
Best wishes as you offer yourself to the publishing world – one sheet at a time!
